3. Note that in <a target="_blank" href="https://claude.ai/settings/connectors" className="text-primary"> Claude Connectors Settings  </a> , if the connector is set to “Always ask permission”, you will be prompted to grant permission before any query can return an answer. You can choose “Allow unsupervised” to grant the connector access automatically. This ensures smooth and uninterrupted use of the Ahrefs tools without repeated permission prompts.
